DescriptionLoughborough banner Temple of Venus Garendon Park.jpg |
English: Temple, of the 1730s, by Ambrose Phillipps of Garendon (d.1737). Of ashlar , with carved oak entablature and copper dome. Circular plan, loosely based on the Temple of Vesta at Tivoli. Raised on 4 steps, with a peristyle of Ionic columns. Entablature painted white, with the frieze of ox skulls and small bays with swags between. The roof member of the cornice has lions? heads at intervals. The centre of the temple has a circular apartment with rusticated walls, classical doorcase and 2 fold fielded-panel door. The interior originally contained a statue of Venus, now lost, perhaps destroyed by Luddite rioters in 1811. Mark Aironard, ?Ambrose Phillipps of Garendon?, Architectural History, 1965. – Colour in the foreground provided by rape seed, the bane of any sufferer of hayfever though fortunately I don't suffer from it myself. – I was a bit naughty in getting this shot as I trespassed by walking along a private road, though in doing so I didn't do any damage to the road (or anything else for that matter) which the landowner would have to prove if he wanted to sue me for civil trespass. |
